EnTT in Action

EnTT is widely used in private and commercial applications. I cannot even mention most of them because of some signatures I put on some documents time ago. Fortunately, there are also people who took the time to implement open source projects based on EnTT and did not hold back when it came to documenting them.

Below an incomplete list of games, applications and articles that can be used as a reference. Where I put the word apparently means that the use of EnTT is documented but the authors didn't make explicit announcements or contacted me directly.

I hope this list can grow much more in the future:

• Games:

  • Minecraft by Mojang: of course, that Minecraft, see the open source attributions page for more details.
  • Face Smash: a game to play with your face.
  • EnTT Pacman: an example of how to make Pacman with EnTT.
  • Classic Tower Defence: a tiny little tower defence game featuring a homemade font. Check it out.
  • The Machine: a box pushing puzzler with logic gates and other cool stuff. Check it out.
  • EnttPong: an example of how to make Pong with EnTT.
  • Randballs: simple SFML and EnTT playground.
  • EnTT Tower Defense: a data oriented tower defense example.
  • EnTT Breakout: simple example of a breakout game, using SDL and EnTT.

• Engines/Frameworks:

  • The Forge by Confett: a cross-platform rendering framework.
  • Apparently Wisp by Team Wisp: an advanced real-time ray tracing renderer built for the demands of video game artists.
  • starlight: game programming framework using Allegro, Lua and modern C++.
  • Apparently Qub3d: because blocks should be open source.
  • shiva: modern C++ engine with modularity.

• Emulators:

  • NovusCore: A modern take on World of Warcraft emulation.

• Articles and blog posts

  • Some posts on my personal blog are about EnTT, for those who want to know more on this project.
  • Space Battle: Huge edition: huge space battle built entirely from scratch.
  • Space Battle: huge space battle built on UE4.
  • Experimenting with ECS in UE4: interesting article about UE4 and EnTT.
  • Implementing ECS architecture in UE4: giant space battle.
  • Conan Adventures (SFML and EnTT in C++): create projects in modern C++ using SFML, EnTT, Conan and CMake.

• Any Other Business:

  • The ArcGIS Runtime SDKs by Esri: they use EnTT for the internal ECS and the cross platform C++ rendering engine. The SDKs are utilized by a lot of enterprise custom apps, as well as by Esri for its own public applications such as Explorer, Collector and Navigator.
  • Apparently NIO: there was a collaboration to make some changes to EnTT, at the time used for internal projects.
  • MatchOneEntt: port of Match One for Entitas-CSharp.
  • GitHub contains also many other examples of use of EnTT from which to take inspiration if interested.

If you know of other resources out there that are about EnTT, feel free to open an issue or a PR and I'll be glad to add them to this page.
